Well, I'm considering the 5" Mak because I want something even more compact and easier to handle (i.e. move from place to place) than the 8" Dob: Something I could take anywhere in the boot without using the entire back seat for the OTA and half the boot for the mount like with the Dob.
Ah, and I found the ED80 lacking a little in aperture for planets. But under dark skies the ED80 is excellent for mid-low power and wide views.
